    Great problem with the H-S Precision rifle.

    Re: Great problem with the H-S Precision rifle. Well that is the question. Is it workmanship, material, or end user that caused the halve. Which is why the whole unit, as stocked as scoped needs to be evaluated.

    Gunsmithing How to slow a bullet down in a bolt gun?

    Re: How to slow a bullet down in a bolt gun? your bullet is exiting too fast out of one gun. shoot over a chrony and figure out how much you need to slow it down. Cold dry air is more dense than warm humid air btw folks. Yeah when speed of sound is important, air temp is a factor..

    Re: Test Indicators It also depends on the limit of the indicator. If I chuck a barrel in a 6 jaw buck chuck, and it's normally out 3 thou and my indicator only spans 2 thou, well it's not going to be good for me or the indicator. How close you have to indicate is how close to zero you want...
